This, from the Winfield Courier, re-
fers to julius Goldsmith, of this city,
n citizen we all regret to part with:
"Julius and Jake Goldsmith have leas-
ed the room formerly occupied by Car
son Il Co., and about the 18th of Feb
ruary, Goldsmith Bros. will open a
large, new and complete stock of cloth
ing and gents furnishings. julius has
been in the clothing business for fif-
teen years and knows all about it..
Both these boys are we'll known here
as young men of exceptionally good
business qualifications. Jake Gold
smith, from his many years I'm the
book store of his brother Henry, has
built up a splendid reputation. The
boys will have no trouble in readily es-
| JdDllSnlnS BOOu business.
The talk about the Missouri Pacific
railroad contemplating coming here
and going west, has evidently stirred
up the Santa Fe people, for their corps
of surveyors arrived yesterday after
noon, and IL is reported that the chief
secured the services of an attorney in
| fhio pffN 70 uggfgf a To- 10,
the right-of-way from Medicine Lodge
to Lake City, for the Southern Kansas
extension. This would Indicate that
the Santa Fe intends to occupy the
Medicine river territory before any 9TH
er road can get here. But this would
not likely interfere with the Missouri
Pacific seriously; for if it decides to
come here, it can get an outlet south
west, through the Cedar creek country,
and get aid from 1Etna township.
The statement of the condition of the
First National bank, of this city, at the
close of business December 2Sth, as
called for by the comptroller of the
currency, appears in this issue of the
INDEX, and it is good showing for the
bank and the business of the city as
well, representing as it does a business
of more than quarter of a million dol
lars for one bank alone in this city. 1t
will be noticed that the individual de-
posits aggregate Sl6S, BOOST. That
means that some one must have sur
plus money that they are not using in
their business. 1t will also be noticed
that in addition to the loans and dis
counts, which are Sl47 900 the bank has
due it from other national banks, due
from state banks and bankers, checks
and other cash items, bills of other
banks, specie and legal tender notes, in
all S9i,766, which is the same as that
much cash in the vault.
Strange things sometimes happen IN
this section Of country. A few days age
Justice Mcdonald was sitting in his
office, wondering on the contrariness OF
human nature, and trying to guess how
he would earn his next fee, when a man
walked in and took seat. lie smiled
continually, but said nothing. The
Squire finally asked him il he wanted
ANYTHING. The man answered this
question by asking one which some OF
the young ladies of the city have long
been wanting to ask: do you marry
folks?" Yes, sir; yes, sir" said the
Squire, Frightening up. Then he hap
pened to THINK of the fact that he was
quite lonesome in this world, and had
never married anybody. and the color
came to his cheeks in a tell-tale way.
II a stranger had been looking on, he
could not have decided which one was
nnnlvinr for the services of the nfhar
